It was founded by a Huntsman Corporation executive. It's supporting a former Huntsman Corporation executive for president. But make no mistake: Our Destiny PAC is not connected to the Huntsman Corporation.

That's what Gary Chapman, vice president for global communications at the Huntsman Corporation, said in an email this morning about the super PAC set up to boost Jon Huntsman's presidential campaign.

Our Destiny PAC was formed last week by Thomas Muir, who is a vice president at the Huntsman Corporation. But Chapman said Muir is acting entirely independently of the global chemicals firm where he works, and where Jon Huntsman was once CEO.

"The Our Destiny PAC is not affiliated with Huntsman Corporation," Chapman wrote. "Mr. Muir was acting in his personal capacity and the Company has no comment on his involvement in starting the PAC."

It may be literally, legally true that the PAC is not affiliated with the Huntsman Corporation. But the company is also inseparable from the Huntsman family and its fortune. Jon Huntsman Sr., who founded the company, is chairman of the board. Peter Huntsman, the candidate's brother, is CEO. Jon Huntsman Jr. made millions of his own substantial fortune at his dad's firm.

Our Destiny PAC already has something of an official seal of approval from Huntsman-world, thanks to the involvement of GOP ad man Fred Davis, who worked for Huntsman's campaign before heading to the independent expenditure group. It will be worth watching how much money from Huntsman's family members and other current Huntsman Corporation employees go into the organization.

If family and employee funds prop up a pro-Jon Huntsman super PAC founded by a current Huntsman Corporation executive, the company will likely have to answer more questions about it along with the campaign.
